‘Spiral Castle’ is an underrated album. 52 minutes of ferocious metal, with Shelton’s huge riffs, the blistering power, and the indulgent showcasing. It’s a throwback to a time when classic metal wouldn’t have been given a look in … and yet Manilla Road didn’t give a fig. Surrounded by the Nu Metal explosion, ‘Spiral Castle’ would have been low down on the end of year lists. And despite that, the musicianship is first class. One listen to the ten-minute muscular workout of ‘Merchants of Death’, featuring Shelton’s exquisite guitar work and you should be hooked.
